Gas Logs

Gas log sets provide a convenient alternative to using real wood when the chilly winter months arrive. They offer ease of use and demand minimal maintenance. Available in a wide array of sizes and styles to complement any interior design, the question arises: How do you make the right selection? When it comes to choosing gas logs for your fireplace, several key considerations should be kept in mind.

1. Fireplace Type: The first step in selecting a gas log set is determining the type of fireplace you have. Vented gas log sets are suitable for fully operational wood-burning fireplaces equipped with a well-maintained chimney. If such a fireplace isn't available in your home, a ventless gas log set is the more appropriate choice. To make an informed decision between vented and ventless gas logs, explore the distinctions in our Vented vs Ventless Gas Logs guide.

2. Fireplace Size: Before making your gas log set purchase, it's crucial to measure your fireplace to ascertain the ideal size for the gas logs that will fit comfortably. These measurements also prove valuable if you intend to enhance your gas log set with fire glass. Our gas log calculator is a useful tool to assist you in determining the correct size of gas logs you require.

3. Gas Type: Gas logs are available in two varieties: natural gas and propane models. Your choice should be based on the availability of a natural gas line and your preference for installation.

4. Wood Type: Gas logs are designed in a diverse range of styles, each replicating the appearance of various real wood types. To enhance the authenticity of your fireplace, opt for gas logs that closely match the wood commonly found in your region.
